!JAKE'S POV!
It's been about six years now since we last left off. I feel like so much has happened, but yet nothing has changed. Alyssa and I were married and had the twins. We tried to make it through college while raising a family all at the same time. I can't tell you there was never a day when I just anted to give up, but I think Alyssa and I did a good job of getting the twins and ourselves through that time. It seemed that right after graduation, Alyssa became pregnant yet again and 9 months later, we had another baby girl and named her Crystal. Once again, I just went along with whatever she wanted. We had decided to move back to Chicago because L.A. was not a good place to raise a family. The funny thing is all of us (Sarah, Kyle, Audrey, Kevin, Alyssa and I) live on the same street, just like when we grew up. It seems that fate just keeps bringing us together. I liked it this way though. That way, we could still all hang out. It was a good thing for the kids too, because they were really close especially Rylee, Cayden, and Dylan because they were only a day apart. I'm in a job with computers. I'm not sure how it all came up this way, but I really enjoy my job. Alyssa stays at home most of the time, but is starting to take up interior design, another passion of hers besides acting. When we moved, she decorated the entire house and I have to say, she did a really good job. Also, in my free time I had taken up guitar. I had started learning in high school but didn't really take it seriously. Our children are great. They've developed their own personalities already. Cayden has my hair, but blonde and is already showing interest in skateboarding. That's my boy. Rylee has Alyssa's hair, but light brown but she looks exactly like Alyssa. She hangs out with Cayden a lot and so they are in to a lot of the same things. Crystal is so hilarious. She has an attitude and at this age, is cute. She has blonde hair like Cayden and is into girly things like dress up and has gotten into Alyssa's make up quite a bit. Life is looking good. For now anyway. We are famous for drama, as you know.
!AUDREY'S POV!
Six years down, the rest of my life to go. I feel as if I've grown up so much. I had to grow up. College is one of those life changing things apparently. No one warned us. Kevin and I got married during the summer after our sophomore year. It was a beautiful wedding. The best day of my life. I changed majors from acting to psychology after realizing what my true passion was. Once we got out of college, Kevin and I moved back to Chicago along with everyone else and started our family. Alyssa and I ended up giving birth around the same time. We both had girls. Kevin and I named our little girl Eve. She's two years old now and has the biggest personality I've ever seen. I'm pretty sure that she's destined to perform already. She sings and dances everywhere she goes and she comes with the dramatics. Eve had Kevin's brown eyes, but my brown hair. She and Crystal absolutely love each other. They're really into make up. Kevin got his dream job as a Kindergarten teacher. I can tell he's happy with where he's at. I just got a job as a Child's Psychologist and pretty much talk to children all day, helping them get through their tough situations. Jake and Alyssa live next door, which Sarah and Kyle live across the street. I really can't believe that we're still all together. Fate is really doing us a favor. Tonight, the gang is getting together for dinner and a children's play date. I have big news to tell them, though.
!SARAH'S POV!
Six years and a bunch of kids later, all the gang is still together. Audrey and Kevin have 1 girl, Kyle and I have 2 boys, but Alyssa and Jake are in the lead with 3. It's hard to believe that we all moved to Chicago and live on the same street, but it's true. It's something out of a movie, really. After college, Kyle and I jumped on the bandwagon and had another little boy, Tyler. Dylan ended up having Adam's random green eyes, but my brown hair. Tyler is the spitting image of Kyle, though and I know Kyle is proud of that. I decided to leave the whole Adam situation alone. I figured if I did, he would leave me alone but if I turned him in, he would try to get even and I don't think I can handle that. Not with my own kids and nieces and nephew being around (even though I'm not related to Audrey or Kevin, I still consider myself Aunt Sarah to their daughter). I finally figured out that I can't really have a career in sports and be a Mom all at the same time, but I recently got the idea of starting my own cafe'. Kyle is in advertising, but he coaches boys' soccer on the side. I figured that the cafe near UCLA played a big part of all of our lives. We went there when we were sad, happy, when we had to think, study or even just because we were thirsty, why not bring the same joy to teens here? Besides, after figuring out that I couldn't lead a life as a professional athlete, I couldn't think of much of anything else. Right now, life is great, but as you know, things can always change drastically.
!KEVIN'S POV!
Six years. Wow. I must say, I enjoy being out of college and starting a family, but I can't say that everyday is easy. Audrey and I got married after our sophomore year and started a family once we moved back to Chicago. Not long after graduation, Audrey and I had a baby girl, Eve and Alyssa and Jake had a little girl as well, Crystal. They are best friends and are practically inseparable. Sarah and Kyle also had another child, but a boy. He too gets along well with the girls. I got my dream job as a teacher. I have a kindergarten class of 20 five year olds and it couldn't be anymore fun. Audrey got a job as a child psychologist, which definitely has it advantages with dealing with my students. It also has its advantages with being parents. Since we both work with kids all day, we can be better parents. Jake is still my best friend but we unfortunately, we don't get to hang out as much as I wish we could. But I guess that all comes with growing up and having a family. Eve quickly became the love of my life, aside from Audrey. I love everything about her and she has a personality the size of the Grand Canyon. I can see a lot of her mother in her. I couldn't ask for anything more in my life, but we're soon going to be getting more nevertheless. Everyone else will find out at the get together.
!ALYSSA'S POV!
A lot has changed in the past six years. And I mean a lot. Jake and I had another girl right after college and named her Crystal. She looks a lot like Jake, besides having my hair but her personality is a lot like mine. Rylee and Cayden absolutely love having a little sister, especially Rylee. They have really taken her under their wings. We now live in walking distance to everyone... in Chicago. I feel really lucky though, at age 25. I am already happily married to the love of my life, have 3 amazing kids, and have the same friends I've had since middle school. Another plus is that we live close to Jake's parents and my mom so they can see their grandchildren anytime. Most people would kill to have the life that Jake and I share. I decided back in college that acting wouldn't really get me very far in life so I took up interior designing instead. I absolutely love it and get really into it. I decorated our house and helped with Sarah and Kyle's and Audrey and Kevin's too. I figured that I didn't want to start actually working until the kids were a little older though, I wanted to be there and it would be hard since Jake has a job already (and a pretty good job at that. He actually makes quite a bit). I just can't believe how things went from being so horrible and heartbreaking to being so amazing. But as you know, drama never fails to find us.
!KYLE'S POV!
Six years and two boys. Do I need to say much more? After having Dylan and getting married shortly after, Sarah and I graduated college, moved back to Chicago and had Tyler. Being a father is more than I could've ever imagined. I'm pretty sure these two boys have completed me. Luckily, I'm not completely ignorant like I used to be. At first, it was kind of odd taking care of Dylan, since he's not biologically mine but that quickly faded and now, I don't even view it that way. In my book, they're both mine and nothing can change that. I was the one that raised them which really makes me his father. Not that slime ball Adam. I got a job in advertising which is right up my alley, but I still coach a boys' soccer team which is a lot of fun. I definitely need that for leisure. I decided to coach recreational soccer and not play professional soccer for Sarah, Dylan, and Tyler's sake. They didn't need a dad who is always gone and I don't think I could stand being away from them for that long. We now lived really close to everyone else, which is pretty amazing. Barely believable you might say. And as usual, right now my life looks great, but drama seems to live in us somewhere.
